GEAR

Game Engine for Windows(x64) using D3D12 or Vulkan via MIRU.

GEAR (Game Engine Andrew Richards) is a 3D game engine, that I am developing to improve both my C++ and graphic programming, using my own Graphics (MIRU) and Mathematics (MARS) libraries. Inspired by Yan Chernikov's (aka TheCheno) videos on C++, OpenGL and Game Engines. https://www.youtube.com/c/TheChernoProject

This repository is under active development and is not currently intended for commerical release or use.
